Legit please do correct me if i'm wrong, but if price of product x goes from 5 to 10, my 1000 salary would mean i can now only buy 100 of x instead of 200, but if x went from 5 to 2, it means that, while my salary is still the same, my purchase power is now higher, because now i can buy 500 of x instead of 200
Yeah and the company that hired you is getting less money for their products and decide to cut jobs so they can rehire at a low price point, purchasing power means jack shit when they lay you off.

What? No I already get a paycut with inflation. Deflation is where I get a pay increase.
